Fareham road. of the NNR. The reserve A total of 30 species are said includes an iron-age hill-fort to have been found here at and other protected some time or other. archaeological remains which are under the care of English Heritage. The South Downs Path passes through the reserve. The rolling South Downs have so far resisted industrialization and their chalky ground provides wonderful habitat for grass-loving butterflies. Old Winchester Hill is on the western end of the South Downs, overlooking the Meon valley. Because it has been grazed for centuries, first by cattle and now by sheep, it is a very good butterfly site. Also it has benefited from the protection afforded in 1951 when it was designated an SSSI and a National Nature Reserve. There is a lot to see because the site is about one mile wide from east to west and one mile long from north to south, with good footpaths. They pass through large areas of short, grazed turf. Also they run alongside light scrub and pass through established deciduous and evergreen woodland. All are good potential butterfly habitats. At their south end, the footpaths pass close to important ancient monuments in the form of bronze-age burial grounds and an iron-age hill-fort (at grid reference SU641206). These are covered by short, grazed turf and provide a good place to look for butterflies, particularly on calm, sunny days in the summer and early autumn. They are one of the richest botanical sites in southern England. A marker records that the summit is 648 ft (about 200m) above sea level. There are fine views in all directions, reaching as far as Southampton, the Fawley oil refinery and Calshot power station, about 15 miles away. The grass is mainly sheep’s fescue (the sole foodplant for the caterpillars of Silver- spotted Skippers) but includes many other downland grass species. There is probably the largest population of round-headed rampion in the country. This is the purplish-blue county flower of Sussex (although we are in Hampshire). Other flowers that you can expect to find here include horseshoe and kidney vetch, clustered bell-flower, autumn gentian, yellow-wort and small scabious. There are also notable colonies of orchids, including fragrant, pyramidal, bee, man, frog, greater butterfly and common-spotted orchids, and autumn lady’s tresses. There is an extensive stand of common juniper, containing several thousand bushes of varying ages. And, to add even more interest, the top-soil consists in some parts of flinty chalk which has allowed heather to become established. I first visited Old Winchester Hill in early June on a day with only intermittent sunshine. The first butterfly I saw, near the main car park, was a male Green-veined White. Only later, I looked up the species count for the Old Winchester Hill transect. You can see this on the uk butterfly monitoring scheme’s website. I was surprised to read that only one Green-veined White had been recorded per transect and then only on 3 visits in the whole of 2008. Although the weather was poor, I saw Meadow Browns, Speckled Woods, Small Heaths, several Painted Ladies (this was in the “good” Painted Lady year of 2009), a Brimstone and a Common Blue. Also later I read that, a few days before, an Adonis Blue had been recorded at the foot of the west-facing slope that leads down from the car park. The most interesting time to go to Old Winchester Hill would be in August when you should see Silver-spotted Skippers. The 2008 transect recorded 19 in the last week of August. By then Marbled Whites will be tailing off, but there should be plenty of Chalkhill Blues about. In his book The Butterflies of Britain & Ireland (Thomas and Lewington, Dorling Kindersley, 1991), Jeremy Thomas described his studies of how far Silver-studded Skippers fly. They have difficulty colonizing new sites because they are reluctant to cross farmland. He points out that, although conditions at Old Winchester Hill became good for these skippers in about 1960 (9 years after the reserve became an NNR), it took until 1977 for these little fast-flying insects to cross a road and river and two miles of farmland to reach this site. At the time, they were abundant in August at Beacon Hill, which is another good site on the other side of the Meon River and the A32 road. A visit to both these hills during the peak flight season of mid-August would be very interesting.

It is clearly signposted. Old Winchester Hill is at the western end of the South Downs about 10 miles south-east of the city of Winchester. In addition to the main car park on the road south from Warnford, there is a disabled viewing area where 3 cars may be parked about ¼ mile south of the main car park. A further ¼ mile south is an entrance to a car park for limited-mobility visitors. This allows an easy- access trail to be followed for about 1/3 mile. The easy-access trail has several resting places and viewing points. In order to pass through a locked gate to reach the disabled parking area, a RADAR key is necessary – see http://www.radar-shop.org.uk/ . .

  • The Wessex Hillforts Project the Wessex Hillforts Project
    The The earthwork forts that crown many hills in Southern England are among the largest and W most dramatic of the prehistoric features that still survive in our modern rural landscape. essex Hillfor The Wessex Hillforts Survey collected wide-ranging data on hillfort interiors in a three-year The Wessex partnership between the former Ancient Monuments Laboratory of English Heritage and Oxford University. Hillforts Project These defended enclosures, occupied from the end of the Bronze Age to the last few ts Project Extensive survey of hillfort interiors centuries before the Roman conquest, have long attracted in central southern England archaeological interest and their function remains central Andrew Payne, Mark Corney and Barry Cunliffe to study of the Iron Age. The communal effort and high degree of social organisation indicated by hillforts feeds debate about whether they were strongholds of Celtic chiefs, communal centres of population or temporary gathering places occupied seasonally or in times of unrest. Yet few have been extensively examined archaeologically. Using non-invasive methods, the survey enabled more elaborate distinctions to be made between different classes of hillforts than has hitherto been possible. The new data reveals Andrew P not only the complexity of the archaeological record preserved inside hillforts, but also great variation in complexity among sites. Survey of the surrounding countryside revealed hillforts to be far from isolated features in the later prehistoric landscape. Many have other, a less visible, forms of enclosed settlement in close proximity. Others occupy significant meeting yne, points of earlier linear ditch systems and some appear to overlie, or be located adjacent to, Mark Cor blocks of earlier prehistoric field systems.

  • Early Farming in the East Meon Hundred1 Ian Wesley, East Meon History Group
    Early farming in the East Meon Hundred1 Ian Wesley, East Meon History Group The beginning of farming For over 10,000 years, men and women have fed themselves in the surrounds of East Meon by hunting or cultivating animals and plants. The high ground around East Meon is covered by prehistoric field systems referred to as “crop marks” in the world of archaeology as they are preserved as earthworks or soil marks, mostly identified from aerial photography. The small size (35-50m) of these fields implies that each was cultivated by one individual of family. Lynchets, evidence of early ploughing, can often be seen at the upper and lower ends. Large scale Roman agriculture destroyed them in lowland Britain thus they are more common on the undisturbed downland. Crop Marks around East Meon 1 This background information in this paper is largely extracted from Barry Cunliffe’s wonderful book, Britain Begins 1 Mesolithic - 10,000 BC to 4,000 BC The Mesolithic period was characterised by small groups of nomadic hunter gatherers, who moved through the landscape hunting, fishing and gathering wild foods. Britain was still linked to continental Europe until about 6000 BC. People started to return to Britain after the last Ice Age which came to a sudden end in about 9600 BC with a rapid rise in temperature exacerbated by the reestablishment of the Atlantic Ocean currents bringing the warm waters of the Gulf Stream once more to Atlantic-facing shores of Europe. Pollen sequences and ice core studies have allowed climate scientists to model, in some detail, progressive changes in vegetation throughout the Mesolithic period.

  • South-Central England Regional Action Plan
    Butterfly Conservation South-Central England Regional Action Plan This action plan was produced in response to the Action for Butterflies project funded by WWF, EN, SNH and CCW by Dr Andy Barker, Mike Fuller & Bill Shreeves August 2000 Registered Office of Butterfly Conservation: Manor Yard, East Lulworth, Wareham, Dorset, BH20 5QP. Registered in England No. 2206468 Registered Charity No. 254937. Executive Summary This document sets out the 'Action Plan' for butterflies, moths and their habitats in South- Central England (Dorset, Hampshire, Isle of Wight & Wiltshire), for the period 2000- 2010. It has been produced by the three Branches of Butterfly Conservation within the region, in consultation with various other governmental and non-governmental organisations. Some of the aims and objectives will undoubtedly be achieved during this period, but some of the more fundamental challenges may well take much longer, and will probably continue for several decades. The main conservation priorities identified for the region are as follows: a) Species Protection ! To arrest the decline of all butterfly and moth species in South-Central region, with special emphasis on the 15 high priority and 6 medium priority butterfly species and the 37 high priority and 96 medium priority macro-moths. ! To seek opportunities to extend breeding areas, and connectivity of breeding areas, of high and medium priority butterflies and moths. b) Surveys, Monitoring & Research ! To undertake ecological research on those species for which existing knowledge is inadequate. Aim to publish findings of research. ! To continue the high level of butterfly transect monitoring, and to develop a programme of survey work and monitoring for the high and medium priority moths.

  • A Place-Name Survey Introduction
    © Kelly Kilpatrick 2014. This research is made freely available and may be used without permission, provided that acknowledgement is made of the author, title and web-address. Saxons in the Meon Valley: A Place-Name Survey Dr Kelly A. Kilpatrick Institute for Name-Studies, University of Nottingham Introduction The Meon Valley in southern Hampshire is defined by the River Meon, a chalk river, which rises at the village of East Meon and flows to the Solent at Titchfield Haven. The Meon Valley area contains the parishes of East and West Meon, Warnford, Exton, Corhampton, Meonstoke, Droxford, Soberton, Wickham and Fareham (for Titchfield); also associated with this region are the parishes of Shedfield, Swanmore, Privett, Froxfield, Steep, Langrish and East and West Tisted. Place-names preserve information about topographic, linguistic and cultural conditions at the time of their formation, and therefore are a useful resource for investigating the past. The toponymic survey presented below is intended to compliment the ‘Story of the Saxons in the Meon Valley’ project, and to provide a general synopsis of the region’s Anglo-Saxon history through place- name evidence. This survey covers the geographical scope of the field-work carried out in the project. Firstly, an introduction to the Jutes of southern Hampshire is presented, followed by a discussion of the Meon River and the Meonware. The following toponymic survey adheres to the structure of the English Place-Name Society county survey volumes. The place-names are organised hierarchically by hundreds, then parishes. Major settlements are discussed first in each parish, followed by minor names of etymological interest arranged alphabetically.
